I Can't Think of a Better Name

Every so often, Janet and I make the trip to Springfield to visit one particular antique mall -- the Heart of Ohio Antique Mall just off of 70 - it's a huge building with a green roof that says "Antiques" on it.  If you miss it from those directions . . . well, let's just say there are people that shouldn't leave their house without a GPS. 

Anyway, the reason we keep going back is that this mall is huge.  Its owners claim it's the biggest in Ohio, and if someone else claims to have a bigger one, I'm game to go have a look.  More often than not we don't get through the whole thing, and we always end up leaving with more than we ever expected to buy. 

Usually, though, I don't find much in the way of pencils.  Seems like most of the people there that have a few pens also have a 20-year old price guide, and they've factored in cost of living increases over the last 20 years. 

But this time, I did find something, though I'm still not quite sure what it is . . .
